Just noticed that it was too late in the time period, possibly a son?

American census entries for Thomas LEIGH

I am trying to trace the following family who moved to the USA between 1871 ( England census) and 1880.
I have pasted the 1880 American census entry that I have from the free Ancestry.com site, with which format you are probably familiar, and I would like to know more about what happened to the family in America,
Can anybody help please?


Census Place West New Brighton, Richmond (Staten Island), New York City-Greater, New York
Household:
Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace

Thomas LEIGH Self M Male W 48 ENG Hand In Dye Factory ENG ENG
Rachael LEIGH Wife M Female W 43 ENG Keeping House WALES WALES
Squire LEIGH Son S Male W 18 ENG Hand In Dye Factory ENG ENG
Maria LEIGH Dau S Female W 11 ENG Attending School ENG ENG
Levenia LEIGH Dau S Female W 10 ENG Attending School ENG ENG
Thomas LEIGH Son S Male W 7 ENG Attending School ENG ENG

This is an entry from a few doors down and could be the eldest son Thomas.

William LEIGH Self M Male W 25 ENG Hand In Dye Factory ENG ENG
Catharine LEIGH Wife M Female W 24 IRE Keeping House IRE IRE

I know that they travelled over from Liverpool in the "City of Richmond" in 1873 and have found them in the passenger lists.
I would be grateful if you could help trace them further.

Regards,
Alan
